We are incredibly proud to announce that Lidl Ireland has officially smashed its fundraising target for our official charity partner Family Carers Ireland raising over €1 million in just one year! We reached this milestone two years ahead of schedule, hitting a goal originally set for 2027.🥳 This achievement is a testament to the incredible generosity of our shoppers and the dedication of our 'Charity Champions' across our stores, warehouses, and Head Office. From our signature Christmas Trolley Dash and ‘Heart of Gold’ day to our various in-store fundraisers and innovative DRS 'recycle with purpose' feature, our communities have rallied together to support the "hidden frontline" of over half a million family carers. While reaching this €1 million milestone so early in our partnership is a momentous occasion, our work is far from finished. We remain steadfast in our commitment to Family Carers Ireland and look forward to building on this incredible momentum to provide even greater levels of support. A massive thank you to our colleagues and customers for helping us deliver this vital support and for ensuring that no one has to care alone.💛 #LidlIreland #FamilyCarersIreland #CommunityImpact #MoretoValue...Show more

Big news for our colleagues across Lidl Ireland today! We’ve just announced an €11m investment in pay increases across the Republic, alongside a further £2.3m for our operations in Northern Ireland. Starting March 1st, all colleagues across the island will see the benefits of this latest boost. At Lidl, we stay ahead of the curve. Since 2022, we have invested over €58m in pay rises, resulting in a cumulative increase of approximately 27.5%. We were the first major nationwide employer to commit to paying the Living Wage back in 2015, and we have proudly maintained or exceeded that rate for the last decade. Our latest increase ensures we meet the 2026 recommended Living Wage. For the sixth year running, we have been recognised by the Top Employers Institute as a Top Employer for 2026. #LidlIreland #TeamLidl #MoreToValue ...Show more

We are pleased to announce a significant milestone in our commitment to the Irish agri-food sector through a strategic three-way collaboration between Cavan-based suppliers Terra Spirits & Liqueurs, Lakeland Dairies, and Ice Cream Treats. This partnership demonstrates the commercial power of a circular local supply chain, where three distinct producers have successfully synchronized their operations to meet both domestic and international demand. The collaboration was driven by market-led innovation, with Terra Spirits & Liqueurs developing the new Deluxe Toffee Yum Yum Liqueur using premium cream sourced from Lakeland Dairies, a farmer-owned co-operative representing over 3,200 family farms. This synergy extends further into our frozen category, where Ice Cream Treats has integrated Terra’s liqueur into a bespoke Deluxe Irish Cream Liqueur Ice Cream, showcasing the versatility and high standard of Irish-produced ingredients across multiple product lines. Beyond domestic success, this partnership has secured a transformative export deal that will see 2.5 million bottles of Lidl’s Deluxe cream liqueurs reach international markets. By placing Cavan’s industry at the centre of a global retail network, Lidl Ireland continues to prioritise long-term partnerships that provide Irish SMEs with a platform for international scale. This "full circle" collaboration stands as a testament to the resilience, innovation, and excellence of the Irish dairy and spirits industries....Show more

SPOILER ALERT! We're thrilled to confirm a new, three-year product placement deal with Ireland’s longest running soap and break ground on our newest store located in RTÉ's Fair City. On-set construction of Lidl Carrigstown at RTÉ studios in Donnybrook is currently underway, with the first episode including the new Lidl supermarket due to air in early summer. As Lidl marks its 25th anniversary in Ireland this year, it’s only fitting that the new high profile product placement deal is with Ireland's iconic soap. With 184 stores across Ireland welcoming around 2 million weekly customers, Lidl has an extensive reach, and the new deal will further extend brand awareness amongst viewers. Located in the heart of the Carrigstown community, the new Lidl store will appear across the series over the next three years and reflect our latest in-store activity to support our wider sponsorships including with Ladies Gaelic Football Association and charity partner Family Carers Ireland. Lidl's quality product range will also be promoted through product placement in the show, showcasing our extensive range of products sourced from our large network of Irish suppliers. #LidlIreland #FairCity #GoFullLidl...Show more
